1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you register for the Services, we collect information through our authentication provider, Clerk. This may include your name, email address, profile photo, and authentication credentials. We do not store passwords directly; authentication is handled entirely by Clerk.

3. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored using Supabase, hosted in the United States. We use row-level security (RLS) policies to ensure that each user can only access their own data. Authentication is handled by Clerk, which provides secure session management and token-based access.

All data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS). While we implement commercially reasonable security measures, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

5. Cookies & Local Storage

The Services use browser localStorage to cache your drawing data locally for faster load times. This data remains on your device and is keyed to your drawing IDs.

Clerk may use cookies or similar technologies for authentication session management. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account information and drawing data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services. If you request deletion of your account, we will delete your personal information and drawing data within a reasonable timeframe, except where we are required to retain it by law.

The Services are intended for users who are at least 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 18, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.
